Head to Head
These sides have not met recently, certainly not with the current crop of players.
France U20 Form
France had a disappointing Six Nations earlier this year, finishing third on the table with two wins and three defeats.
Last year, France won the U20 World Championships, beating Ireland 50-14 in the final. They cruised through the group stage and looked the best side throughout.
However, there has been a change in many of the players due to it being an age specific competition. Going by their Six Nations performance, France will do well to defend their title this time around.
France U20 Injuries & Team News
France have brought in a couple of players after a disappointing Six Nations campaign. They will certainly be challenging come the latter stages.
Spain U20 Form
Spain don’t play much international rugby, let along at U20 level. Qualifying for this tournament is a great achievement in itself, so an upset along the way will make the trip worthwhile.
The Spanish side defeated Uruguay in a high-scoring thriller to reach the tournament. Rugby is growing at all levels in the sport in Spain, so it should be a good gauge as to where they are at the moment.

Spain will go into this opening game with a full strength side.

France are backed to thrash Spain by 35+ points.
